Strong winds return to San Antonio Friday morning, gusts to 50 mph possible

SAN ANTONIO – Here we go again. It was just two days ago that we dealt with a high wind event.

The weather on Friday looks to be very similar.

KEY POINTS:

• A cold front will arrive around midnight Friday, kicking up gusty northwesterly winds as it pushes through
• Between midnight and mid-morning Friday, winds could gust between 40 and 50 mph
• Like Monday’s wind event, some minor damage is possible to tree limbs and power lines.
• You’ll want to secure any outdoor, loose items
• An elevated wildfire danger will exist, especially west of San Antonio
• Winds will subside by Friday afternoon
• Mountain Cedar could rise, too, due to the gusty, dry conditions

This wind event will be followed by a powerful arctic front on Sunday morning that will bring another round of gusty winds.
